House Democrats are still weighing whether to participate in the recently-formed House select committee to investigate the 2012 attack in Benghazi, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., announced Friday, saying she'd raised several concerns about the new probe with House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, and was still waiting on a response.

"What we've asked for is as much bipartisanship as possible," Pelosi said. "The question is what are the terms under which Democrats could participate."

Pelosi said Democrats would need "to concur in the issuance of subpoenas, decisions to depose witnesses, and the decision to interview witnesses, and with the decision to release any report, document, or information by the committee."
